Young women of the nomadic pastoralist Wodaabe tribe carry-out daily tasks in their temporary cattle camp in the Sahel region of Chad Central Africa. These young women follow traditional marriage and family customs of Wodaabe culture including child rearing amongst the various wives. The Wodaabe practice polygamy with men often having two or more wives and many children, which is seen as a sign of male strength and pride.

Sarah's wanderlust for travel has taken her to all corners of the globe; to 148 countries and all seven continents. Her interest in disappearing cultures takes her to some of the more remote parts of the world. Sarah's images have been awarded international photography awards.
